2003-4 cervical radiculopathy. Saw GP and neuro for that. He was conservative PT meds and told me it was a 6 week injury. If not he would refer to neuro surgeon. It did go away. And now if it acts up I have a few exercises that I know will stop it.

Thoracic pain has been since 2010 along with lumbar. Bent wrong to pick up a pad for baby. 10 pounds. Felt pop. Hit ground. Now between the 2 I am layer up once every two weeks with heat rubs and heating pad. shite gets old.

Does the thoracic pain radiate to the abdomen like a band? Thoracic radiculopathies are pretty rare.

Good. Although I know it is a PITA to have to address this every now and then.

Ideally you have the following: the spine surgeon who gives you straight answers regarding what you need or don't need, in conjunction with the non-operative guys (PM&R and Anaesthesia) who can offer meds and injections, and the PTs who offer joint mobilization, stretching, and the like. There is some degree of comfort added if you can get that all under one roof, as opposed to "are all these offices talking to each other?"
